Shaun Runyon, 39, is charged with three counts of first-degree murder.

He was granted no bond for the three capital counts, but he was granted bond for his second-degree felony charges. The bond for the felony charges was $50,000 and if he bonded out, he would have a GPS monitoring device on him and have a curfew from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Runyon was granted his request for a public defender.

Investigators have no idea what led Runyon to allegedly go on a killing spree in Davenport armed with a knife and baseball bat and left three people dead on Saturday.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office stated it all started around 2 a.m. Friday when Runyon punched his supervisor and ran away from work.

Runyon works for Pennsylvania-based J & B Electric, Inc. and the company stated he was flown to Florida to do work on a Publix Corporation project.

The supervisor was under the impression that Runyon was on his way back to Pennsylvania.

But on Saturday morning, detectives were called to a residential neighborhood in Davenport, where officials say Runyon stabbed and beat seven of his coworkers in a rented house in the Windsor Island community, which left three of them dead.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd described the area as a horrific scene, adding that the seven people inside the house were Runyon’s coworkers and their family members, including a 7-year-old child.

“He knew all of these victims. We have no idea what outraged him so bad that more than 24 hours later he would come back and make an attempt to kill every one of them,” he said.

Runyon left the scene, and Judd said that about two hours later, he went to a Lake Wales home with blood on his clothes and told people there he had been raped.

He was told to go to a Lake Wales hospital, and that is where authorities took him into custody. Judd said he was not injured.

The sheriff said Runyon confessed to the deadly attack. 

Runyon has a prior criminal history that includes out-of-state charges of strangulation, endangering the welfare of a child, terroristic threats, DUI and more.
